...but right now it's not finally cleared.
My wife's uncle owns an apartment-house in Dortmund. One lodger died some months ago. He had no relatives and no heirs. Today the town council as the legal representative has send the papers, the "Fahrzeugbrief" and the keys to the uncle, as payment for the apartment's rent of the last months. When you own the document "Fahrzeugschein", you can make everything with the car and it's registration, even if you name isn't remarked. The registration is still valid, but I don't know, how long tax and insurance were already paid.
It's a May 1990 300 E [W124] Limousine, the condition shall be fine, as the uncle has seen it from outside. 2nd owner since 1995. He has paid over 30.000 DM (ca.15.000 Euro) back then.
I haven't seen the car, so I cannot tell any details. I'll try a check next week.
The car's condition shall be much better than that from the apartment - the guy was a kind of a "Messie", everything dirty and worthless and garbage all around. We (or the town council, this is not clear now) have to order a garbage-skip and then we will throw everything out. The Benz is indeed the only valuable at all there.
I have no idea about the price, at first I've to check, if it's just running and everything in function. If you see the advertises:

you see, that the prices are low, nearly nothing, when something technical is broken (the spare part-prices...)
If anyone around here is interested, I think, we can arrange something.
As I'm really impressed of ecclefan's story: http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-5975-38952-What_I_did_with_my_old_car___.html#p38952 I would like to do something similar. O.k., just my own private idea, I haven't said anything to my wife's uncle. And my wife neither.
